Sorry this is so short. I actually have about 9,000 more words written but I have major writers block because it doesn't flow very well at all. I didn't want to post short chapters or turn this section into too many chapters but I don't like tacking this bit on with something else. More following soon.

Making Moves

Hermione walked back to the table and noticed that both boys were having a hushed conversation. She was sure it was about her but she didn't mind all that much. She knew she needed their help. Honestly she was feeling a little worn out from her feelings purge.

As she sat down Harry spoke up, "Well, I know you want our help and you know we will do anything for you but, I personally think the first thing you should do is go in to the office on Monday and turn in your resignation letter."

"He's right you know." Theo chimed in, "You hate that job and you have for a while. They put you there because you are a war hero and a great publicity figure but, they underestimated how much you hate those kinds of attitudes and you hate the press."

Hermione sighed deeply. She knew they were right even if she didn't like the fact that they were. She was wooed into her job but then they never let her effect any changes. It was mostly just so the department could brag that they had her on staff. She was less than useless really.

"I know you're right but honestly boys we aren't all sitting on family fortunes in our comfy manors and London townhomes. What would I do to pay the bills? I know my flat isn't much but, it is at least something to stay in that is comfortable and warm. I can't have no income because I will still have bills."

"You know you could give up that flat and stay with us." Theo offered with Harry eagerly nodding along.

Hermione hesitated at that thought. Honestly it would give her some company to have around and with both boys working it isn't like they would all be on top of each other all the time. It might do her some good to leave the place she was with Marcus last and move on. Her lease was up at the end of the month and her signed renewal was just sitting on her coffee table anyway.

"I don't know," she said, "Won't I just be underfoot? As much as I love you both I happen to know you both are a bit...well you like to screw in every place possible."

All of them looked abashed as they all had some memory of Theo and Harry inviting Hermione over for dinner only to be distracted and lose track of the time. The memory Hermione had of walking in on Theo bending Harry over the kitchen island would take years to erase.

Harry could see that Hermione was considering it so he offered up, "We could be more circumspect. No sex in the common areas of the house that we would share with you. It would not be much of a hardship love. We really would love it if you stayed with us."

Seeing her wavering Theo went for the kill, "Plus love if you are depressed and feeling all lonely having people to come home to other than your cat might be a wonderful idea. We could all share the cooking and see each other in the mornings and evenings. A lot of time Harry isn't home due to his team schedule and I would love the company on his longer stretches out of town. There would be no bills for you to worry about so you wouldn't need to worry about jumping straight into another job. You could take some time and figure out what you really wanted to do with yourself."

"Well, if you are sure that you don't mind me being there I would love to come stay with you for at least a little while. My lease is up at the end of the month which gives me a bit of time to pack."

Hermione was staring off in to the distance. She wasn't sure it was the right move for her but, she did really want to quit her craptastic job and do something else. Honestly anything else. Plus she loved her boys and maybe having some company sometimes that she could see in her pajamas would be good for her. She was fighting her depression really hard and she had the feeling that she was losing the battle.

She looked at her boys and gave them a warm smile. She loved her friends and she should have been honest with them about what was happening with her sooner. Marcus was not all to blame for everything. He wanted to keep everything unwraps but then again so did she. She really needed a drastic change of pace here.

"Looks like I am moving in!"
